You sell ball head nails, but I want the screw. Do I have to buy a 70-204 just to get the screw?

I am sorry, the ball head screws included in the 70-204 set are not available separately. The 70-013 ball head nail is the closest thing we have to it.

OK...so I have to buy the 70-204. That being said, is the ball profile the same as the nail version? The nail has a channel for the loop latch to fit in, but I can't see very well from the picture that the screw is the same.

Here's an alternate image of the screw that comes with the 70-204 Slip-On Latch:

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Darn...that's what I thought. I'm attaching an image of what I'm looking for. Any ideas where I might locate this? Thanks in advance Mike.

Have you considered the 70-013 Ball Head Nail?

Hi Mike...No, I need a screw. I'm not using these as they're intended. It happens that the ball fits nicely in the accessory track of a Sunsetter awning. I'm building a water mister rod to fit in the track, and nailing into the PVC tube isn't really an option. Thanks for your input. I will have to get a little more creative now.
